quote:Scientists who thought they were one step closer to solving the mysteries of superconducting metals may find themselves back at the theoretical drawing board thanks to new research by U of T physicists.
"In our field of solid state physics, the big issue is whether the basic theory that governs how electrons behave in metals holds true with new materials like copper oxide-based high-temperature superconductors," says Robert Hill, a post-doctoral fellow in U of T's physics department and lead author on a paper appearing in the Dec. 13 issue of Nature. "Our research is the first hard evidence to show that it does not hold true."

That's a really interesting article. Particulasrly the bit about how electicity cables lose 30% of the power en route. Combine that with research about people coming down with cancers and diseases near to power lines and I think we have a sense of some of what's going on... So in a way, superconductors could be seen to provide a substantial health benefit - above and beyond their astonishing technological uses...

I wish people would wait until I had finished writing about the stuff before they go and disprove the very theory that I am writing about.

I have to do a complete restart now.
